KIDS & JUNIOR PROGRAMS

Jiu-Jitsu for Kids is a powerful martial art that helps children grow physically, mentally, and socially. It’s especially popular because it focuses on technique and leverage rather than strength, making it ideal for children of all sizes.

What is Jiu-Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art that teaches control and submissions (like joint locks and chokes) rather than striking. Kids learn how to protect themselves using holds, escapes, and takedowns in a safe, structured environment.

Why Jiu-Jitsu is Great for Kids

  1. Self-Defense Without Violence
    Kids learn to control opponents without punching or kicking, making BJJ one of the safest and most practical forms of self-defense
  2. Builds Confidence
    As kids master techniques and earn belts, they gain a sense of accomplishment and belief in themselves.
  3. Develops Discipline and Focus
    Classes are structured and require attention, respect, and perseverance.
  4. Encourages Physical Activity
    It improves strength, coordination, balance, and overall fitness in a fun way.
  5. Promotes Social Skills
    Kids learn cooperation through partner drills and sparring, making friends along the way.
  6. Teaches Emotional Control
    Rolling (sparring) teaches kids how to stay calm under pressure and deal with frustration or failure in a healthy way.

What to Expect in a Kids’ Class:

  • Warm-ups (running, stretching, agility drills)
  • Technique instruction (broken down step-by-step)
  • Drilling with a partner
  • Light, supervised sparring (rolling)
  • Cool down and life lessons (respect, teamwork, goal-setting)
